The letter of Fred Douglass regretting
his inability to assist in the republican
campaign in New York and setting forth
his reasons why the colored voters should
continue firm in their allegiance to the
republican party removes all doubts
that may have existed concerning
the political attitude of that accomplish
ed leader. He indicates his position by
appealing to all colored voters to support
the straight republican ticket, and pays a
tribute to the party and its candidates
which is entirely worthy OF himself and
the cause OF which he has been a conspic-
uous and honorable advocate.
The Episcopal church of the Holy
Trinity of New York, not being able to
find clergyman in this country whose
eloouence was satisfactory to its ideal
standard imported from England the Rev.
f. Walpole Warren under contract to
pay him certain salary. The United
States District Attorney has decided that
this action was violation of the labor
importation law and has brought suit
against the church to recover $1,000 fine.
The suit was instituted by the President
of st. Andrews Society who was agrieved
since some of his countrymen were
prevented from landing in this country
because of the provisions of this law.
What is sauce tor the goose must be sauce
for the gauder. and it these English pro-
clivities of the Church of the Holy Trinity
can be cropped off little, here certainly
is chance for the job to be done.

To gather mp the gold,
And stuff my pockets just as tight
As ever they would hold.
Then would find Dame Natures store
She has the dearest things
And boldly knock at the front door,
And ask for butterflies wings.
Then should want some fine gray gloves
Made out Of spiders silk,
And fearthery cloaks from breasts of doves
As soft and white as milk
For shoes I'll buy some lily leaves,
With small shell buttons bright,
And, made Of threads the thistle weayes,
Some stockings snowy white.
But, most Of all, long to buy
The new moon for a boat,
That each night far down the sky
Among the stars might float
Oh round and round the earth I'd range,
So clad and free and bid,
And never a cent I'd ask OF change
From dandellon gold.
